Put stitches on a thread -one by one

Video thumbnail for Put stitches on a thread -one by one
Sometimes you want some sts to rest while working the others. If you don't have a stitch holder you might as well use some scrap yarn. The video is showing how we put 1 st at the time on a thread at the end of each row from RS.
When these sts are later knitted again, make sure to knit them in the right loop so that they are not twisted.

DROPS Design :

Dag Rina,

Als je het goed is heb je steken op een hulpdraad gezet omdat je deze een tijdje niet hoefde te breien. Deze brei je eerst. Vervolgens neem je direct daarna steken op langs de zijkant (bekijk evt. een video over steken opnemen), dan brei je de steken die nog op de naald stonden. Vervolgens neem je ook aan de andere zijkant steken op en zet je de steken van de andere hulpdraad op de naald.

P.S. Zou je zo vriendelijk willen zijn om je vraag de volgende keer bij het betreffende patroon te plaatsen? Dan kunnen we je waarschijnlijk sneller helpen.

Tycker videon var okej, men hade gärna sett hur man bara trär på tråd rakt av. Det här såg ut att vara hur man trär på tråd på två olika ställen på ett varv. Jag vill ha en enkel beskrivning på t.ex "trä tio maskor på tråd, resterande 38 maskor kvar på stickan" eller dyl. Men är väldigt tacksam att era videos finns, annars hade jag varit väldigt lost vissa ggr.

In this DROPS video we show how to crochet a cord with 2 strands / 2 colors.

Work like this: * Take the hook over and around the light blue strand (2 loops on the hook), take the hook under and around the pink strand and pull the pink strand through both loops on the hook *, work from *-* to desired length. Cut the strands leaving 10 cm = 4" (used to fasten the cord), thread the pink strand through the last loop on the hook. We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video.
